catBonny…I feel kind of lucky that I seem to haver been born with an ability to accept, and even cherish ambiguity. I know a lot of people that just can’t stand it if something is not either “this” or “that”, but somewhere inbetween or perhaps even outisde the bounds that encompass both “this” and “that”. If that makes any sense. I guess what I mean is that a lot of people need for everything to be concrete, and I don’t necessarily.

I’m the same way with uncertainty, which is akin to ambiguity but not entirely the same thing. It doesn’t really bother me for something, even the existence or non-existence of deity, to be a mystery. I think mystery makes the universe a more interesting place.

I really appreciate this statement.-”What it does mean is that I don’t have to know for sure, that I’m fairly certain it is impossible to know for sure.” I feel like this combined with the part about accepting that people find belief systems that work for themselves (and that is okay) has been a major theme of me trying to figure out what my true religious views are. But I think I really appreciate that quote the most is because it I relate to the fact that you are saying you’re agnostic doesn’t exactly come out on a way that is so clearly defined. (I am not sure if that makes much sense at all.) I guess I feel like I can relate to the fact that coming away from faith for me is an acceptance of a certain ambiguity.

Thanks again.
